Will Apple Plunge Without Jobs?

A few weeks ago, Apple lost their former CEO and co-founder, their friend, and their respected co-worker, Steve Jobs. Jobs had been battling pancreatic cancer for years, and had stepped down from CEO of Apple  earlier in 2011, promoting Tim Cook to fill his shoes. The world was shocked to hear of his death at the young age of 56, and Apple users and fans around the world felt the sadness of such an incredible loss to the technological world. Electrical Engineer Michael Zuzak stated that the day of Jobs' death was a sad day in the electronics industry as it lost one of its great pioneers.





He also feels that Apple could be headed downhill without Jobs working for the company. It will be interesting to see how Cook manages Apple in the next few years. I think many people are looking forward to see if the products Apple releases in the future will live up to the ideas and designs that Jobs had come up with in the past.





During the interview, Zuzak also mentioned Jobs' last words, which were, "Oh wow. Oh wow. Oh wow." The Washington Post published a blog post comparing Jobs' last words to those of Thomas Edison's. The Post also mentioned that the eulogy of Jobs was released over the weekend and published in The New York Times.

  1. As a faithful Apple user, I was saddened to hear about Steve Jobs passing. It made me wonder if Apple would ever be the same now that he is gone. But I would have to disagree with Mr. Zuzak on his opinion of Apple going downhill now that Jobs will not be heading the company. I hope to be optimistic about Apple's future and continue to be amazed with their gadgets.
